The maker of studio album Hood Billionaire, has shared some useful tips that played a vital role in getting rid of the excess weight from his body and helped him maintain a healthier lifestyle. Some of the key tips are mentioned here for your benefit.

Stop the Soda: The Grammy-nominated rap star believes that one should not consume soda at all. And if you need to drink it for any reason, go for diet soda as it has much less calories.

Heavy Meals in the Day: The rap king also insists that people should stop eating heavier meals at night time and reschedule them earlier in the day, as it will help burn off the excess calories. Well, we agree. When you have consumed a heavy breakfast or lunch then you can burn off the excess calories by moving around and working. On the other hand, if you have consumed a heavy meal at night, you won’t be able to burn the excess calories.

“I used to eat big meals at 2 a.m. and base it on my schedule. But I don’t do that anymore.”

– Ross said.

Water is a Must: The famous music celebrity feels that everyone should drink water throughout the day. It will not only help you feel refreshed, but it will also get rid of all the toxins from your body.

Treat Yourself: Ross also believes that one should treat himself or herself, especially when he or she has done something extraordinary. He implements the same rule in his life.

Citing an example, he said

“I just went to Prime 112 (in Miami) the other night, and I had some fried Oreos and fried velvet cake. I treated myself. You wake up in the morning, you might regret it. But you gotta get back to work.”

Follow a Set Exercise Plan: Ross believes in following the CrossFit program which was introduced to him by Reebok. As per the plan, the music sensation has to complete several exercises that include push ups, sit-ups, boxing, squat jumps and Olympic-style weightlifting within 20 minutes only.

Appreciating the plan, he opined –

“CrossFit is overall, more of an intense workout. So instead of doing 20 minutes on the treadmill, you’ll (do) a 20-minute CrossFit workout and you’ll be not only building your endurance, but also muscle, simultaneously.”

Motivate Others: Ross has motivated 20 more people to work out alongside him, like DJ Khaled and producer E-Class. He believes that we all should motivate the people around us to stay fit and healthy.

Regulate Your Diet: Ross has completely given up on foods like bread, white rice and fish fillets. He has also started avoiding alcoholic beverages. He has started consuming food items like Branzino and fruits like pears.

Don’t Give up Every Food: The rapper believes that one should not give up on every indulgence. He has also not given up on his favorite food – Lemon Pepper Wings. He consumes them at least twice a week at his favorite restaurant.

Concluding his diet suggestions, the rapper added,

“I’m not under no stress of what I’m eating. There are no restrictions. I’m not trying to make a particular weight. I’m just working out and doing what’s best for Rozay.”

Rick Ross’ stomach isn’t exactly impressive in his current state, but progress has clearly been made. This article is making things a bit confusing though. Losing weight isn’t rocket science. You don’t need to look up all the minuscule factors that contribute ever-so-slightly to weight loss. If you’re committed to shedding fat, the ONE THING you gotta do is: burn more calories than you eat. That’s it. I know because I used to be on the chubby side, to put it nicely. Now I’ve got toned abs.
